Chapter 52: Three Surprises

Huang Xian didn't speak, he held the battlements with his hands and observed the movements of the Hu soldiers under the city. They are busy dragging back dead and wounded companions in preparation for the next siege.

Huang Xian found that most of the Hu soldiers did not ride horses, perhaps thinking that the cavalry was useless in siege warfare, only a few generals and leaders of the battle had horses, and after many siege setbacks, these Hu soldiers who took turns to rest were exhausted, and they sat on the ground in groups of three or five, without formation.

Huang Xian secretly thought: If you rush out on horseback at this time, you will be able to kill them.

"Lord Liubao, come and see!" Huang Xian called Liu Heng.

"What's the matter, Lord Huangzhai?" Liu Heng approached the battlement.

"Hu Bing can't attack the city, and he has slackened!" Huang Xian pointed to Hu Bing outside.

"We can send a team of cavalry to surround the city and attack the Hu thieves, even if we can't retreat the enemy, at least we can hit the morale of the Hu soldiers, and it will also be conducive to our army defending the city. Huang Xian then said his plan.

"Good strategy!" Liu Heng's eyes lit up, and his right hand clenched his fist tightly.

"How can you go out of the city to attack, how tired are the soldiers guarding the city!" Liu Yan also followed, and when he heard Huang Xian's thoughts, he pointed to the people in the city and said dejectedly.

"It's easier to defend the city than to attack it, we are tired, they are even more tired! The opportunity must not be lost, the city is broken, Liujiabao is afraid that the chickens and dogs will not be able to stay, Tuoba Lao'er attacked the city late at night to avenge Tuoba Lie!" Huang Xian continued to insist on his opinion.

"There are brave men under the heavy reward! Raise death squads with a lot of money. Liu Heng thought twice and decided to take a risk.

"The target of the attack from the city gate is too obvious, if it is surrounded by Hu soldiers, it may be more than lucky!" Zhao Wanming also put forward his own opinion.

"Lord Liubao, can you enter the horse in your secret passage?" Huang Xian asked Liu Heng.

"Yes, attack from the secret passage!" Liu Heng agreed with Huang Xian's idea.

"Lord Liu, it's better for me to lead the team out of the city to attack the enemy army!" Huang Xian volunteered again.

"Lord Liu Bao, Lord Huangzhai is already very tired from robbing the camp twice, so leave it to me this time!" Liu Yan was worried that Huang Xian's body would not be able to withstand it.

"Don't fight, I think it's still the Huangzhai lord who led the team to sneak attack, tonight when the Hu soldiers attacked the city, quietly went out from the secret road, the secret road exit is hidden in a forest on the south side of the west gate, the Huangzhai lord you kill from the west gate to the north gate, go around the city to kill the enemy, turn to the south gate and return, General Liu led a hundred people to open the city gate to kill out to meet the Huangzhai lord, I will press you in the city tower, we should be inside and outside, it will be foolproof!" Liu Heng made the final decision.

Liu Hengchuan ordered to go, reward 100 taels of silver, recruit 100 daredevils, and go out of the city at night to attack the enemy.

Sure enough, there was a brave man under the heavy reward, and in less than half an hour, the number of people had been gathered.

Liu Heng arranged for these people to eat and drink enough, go to the Shuai's Mansion to rest, and be dispatched at any time.

Huang Xian wanted to continue to stay in the city tower to defend the city, but Zhao Wanming persuaded: "Brother Huang, the sneak attack behind the enemy at night is a matter of the overall situation, you better go back to the Shuai's Mansion to rest and recuperate!"

Liu Heng and Liu Yan tried their best to persuade them, and Huang Xian had to go back to rest.

In the evening, Hu Bing launched another fierce attack, and seeing that he was about to be unable to withstand it, Liu Heng instructed Liu Si to go to the Shuaifu to inform Huang Xian to lead a death squad to attack.

The walls were running out of bricks and stones, and the enemy offensive was still unabated.

Liu Heng was very anxious, and secretly wondered: Why hasn't Huang Xian and the others come from behind yet!

Just when he was anxious, a relative reminded: "Lord Liubao, look, the rear of the enemy army is in chaos!"

Liu Heng held his eyes and looked carefully, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, only to see a group of men and horses rushing from the west like a whirlwind, Hu Bing was caught off guard, and was killed so that people turned over on their backs.

The soldiers defending the city saw that the enemy's position was in chaos, and their morale was greatly boosted, and they fought hard to kill the enemy, shouting and killing the sky. Hu Bing saw that the rear was secretly attacked, and every inch was in chaos, and they were defeated and retreated.

Tuoba Xiong rode a horse to supervise the formation in the rear, and was about to attack the city, when he suddenly saw a group of men and horses descending from the sky, rushing all the way from the west, and his own siege soldiers were defeated, and he was immediately furious, and waved the flag, and ordered the sergeant to come forward to intercept.

Where can it be stopped, Huang Xian led the army to kill, as if entering a no-man's land, Hu soldiers fell one after another.

Tuoba Xiong was furious and ordered his nephew Tuoba to lead his troops to pursue.

Liu Heng ordered Liu Si, who rushed to reinstate, to take over the defense of the north gate, and he took Zhao Wanming to the south gate to pick up Huang Xian.

Huang Xian was not in love with war, he led the daredevils to rush along the rear of the Hu soldiers' formation like a whirlwind and clouds, and when the enemy army reacted, he had already swept his horse and killed elsewhere.

When he turned to the south gate, Liu Yan opened the city gate and went out, connecting Huang Xian to Liujiabao.

Tuoba Jue couldn't catch up, and Huang Xian had already returned to Liujiabao, so he had to return to report truthfully.

Tuoba Xiong jumped like thunder, furious, suddenly felt a fishy heat in his throat, opened his mouth and spewed out a mouthful of blood, and fell off the horse. He led the iron cavalry to fight on the battlefield all his life, killing countless enemies, and now in order to attack the city, let the cavalry abandon the war horse, who knew that when the siege was made, he was killed by Huang Xian with a team of cavalry, how could he not be angry.

Tuoba Jue was shocked, and hurriedly dismounted to rescue Tuoba Xiong, and when he looked carefully, Tuoba Xiong was unconscious.

Besides, Liu Si was supervising the battle on the city tower, and a burgher excitedly reminded: "General Liu, look, the enemy commander has fallen off his horse!"

Liu Si looked closely, the lantern ball torches in the distance were as bright as day, and under the banner of Daxu, he saw that the Hu soldiers were rescuing a person, and asked urgently: "The one who fell off the horse is really Tuoba Xiong!"

"Really, General Liu, I also saw him vomit blood!"

Liu Sisi was overjoyed and hurried to the South Gate Tower to report to the lord of Liu Hengbao.

Tuoba Jue knew that it would be useless to fight again, so he had to order the troops to retreat, and the Hu soldiers retreated like a tide, leaving a place of dead corpses under the city.

Liu Heng and Zhao Wanming took Huang Xian and Liu Yan to the city tower, and the four of them high-fived each other, recounting the tragic situation of the enemy's retreat, and they all laughed.

There is a report from the fort: "Qiyu castle master, Hu Bing has retreated!"

Liu, Huang, Liu and Zhao hurriedly rushed to the battlements to watch, and sure enough, the enemy was withdrawing, and the foot of the city was in a mess, everyone looked at each other, and they all breathed a deep sigh of relief.

Since last night, the Hu soldiers have continued to attack the city, and they have almost attacked the city head several times, and all kinds of defensive equipment on the city wall have almost been exhausted.

"Lord Liubao!

When everyone watched, a person stumbled from the west, and it was Liu Si.

"What's the alarm!"

"Lord Liu, Tuoba Xiong fell off his horse and vomited blood!" Although Liu Si was out of breath, his spirit was extremely excited.

"I see!" Liu Heng was overjoyed, and immediately ordered the guards and main leaders of the city gates to discuss matters at the north gate.

"Lord Liubao, the time has come to fight to the death, let's go out of the city and counterattack, and eliminate the thieves in one fell swoop!"

"Let's counterattack!"

"Let his mother's thieves taste slaughter too!"

"Lord Liubao, give the order!"

The people on the upper floor of the north gate were full of voices, and they couldn't tell whose words were, and everyone was excited, and they all wanted to fight to the death with the enemy.

"Lord Huangzhai, what do you think?" Huang Xian was originally a guest of Liujiabao, he robbed the camp twice, led the death squad to attack the Hu soldiers from the rear siege sergeant, and made great contributions to repelling the enemy's offensive, on the question of whether to fight a decisive battle with the enemy, Liu Heng naturally thought of listening to Huang Xian's opinion.

From the beginning of learning that Tuoba Xiong vomited blood and fell from his horse, Huang Xian began to think about the next strategy of resisting the enemy, and when communicating with Zhao Wanming, the two formed the same point of view: although the Hu soldiers temporarily retreated, there was a huge difference in the strength of the enemy and our forces, and the pattern of the enemy's strength and weakness had not changed, and a rash attack would inevitably lead to overturning.

Seeing Lord Liu Bao asking for his opinion, Huang Xian and Zhao Wanming looked at each other, slowly stood up, arched his hand to Lord Liu Bao and the leaders, and said calmly: "Lord Liu Bao, generals, I want to ask you to weigh it, who is stronger and who is weaker now?"

"Hey!" Hearing Huang Xian's question, someone was already deflated, slamming his palm with his fist and sighing.

Liu Jiabao has been bullied by Tuoba Xiong for too long, and for several months, everyone has a fire of hatred in their hearts, and finally waited until today, and has a slight upper hand in the offensive and defensive momentum, which provides an outlet for everyone to vent their anger, everyone has asked for war, there was originally an element of venting emotions in it, Huang Xian's words just hit the key point of the generals, and everyone calmed down immediately.

"Lord Huangzhai, the enemy commander vomited blood and fell from his horse, and his morale was greatly reduced, it is a good opportunity to kill the enemy with soldiers, is it just because the enemy is strong and I am weak, I will waste this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!" Liu Yan couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, and raised his own doubts loudly.

When everyone was gossiping and asking for a counterattack, Zhao Wanming's brain was running rapidly, thinking: Although the enemy is strong and I am weak, and it has not yet reached the last moment of a life-and-death showdown, the enemy commander vomited blood and fell from his horse, which is indeed a good opportunity to continue to fight the enemy, and must be fully utilized. When he was thinking about it, he accidentally saw the robe full of arrows that Huang Xian took off, the enemy was attacking the city in a hurry, and before he could take it away, he still threw it in the corner of the city tower, but the feather arrow had already been taken away by the fort and shot back to Hu Bing. Zhao Wanming suddenly became excited, and a clever plan came up spontaneously.

"I have a plan that can stump the enemy army and replenish our provisions!" Before Huang Xian could answer, Zhao Wanming got up and offered a plan.

"Miss Zhao, what is the plan, let's hear it!" Liu Heng's eyes lit up.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Zhao Wanming at once. Chilong Fort and Liu Jiabao have been fighting against Hu for many years, and the generals are no strangers to her.

Zhao Wanming said his plan like this.

"Sure enough!" everyone raised their fingers.

Liu Heng was overjoyed and instructed Liu Yan to follow the plan.
